Thank you for this great post. I am starting it soon, but my understanding, so far, is that this is a more efficient means of cleaning than using sun energy.
Curious why it makes one tired. Perhaps the soul mends the damage once the negative item is removed, using up some energy.

I just want to say that I appreciate the work that you do for JOS. As a verified and veteran member, your role in astrology is unique and important. I don't know of any other verified sources. Understanding astrology takes a lot of studying and brainpower for full, accurate interpretations. In addition, birth data can only be safely handled by verified members.
Importantly, knowledge of the birth chart is crucial for advancement, perhaps even mandatory. One can see exactly what they are good at, and bad at. They can see roughly what their elemental composition is, and so forth. From here, they can take corrective actions.
I am stating the obvious just to make the point that your role in helping fellow JOS members learn about themselves is not just important, but perhaps unique to you, at this time. Others can give generalized advice (check your north node, check your major signs, look at houses, etc), but only you can give complete and specified advice.
I am not saying this to ramp up the pressure on you, but I had thought to mention it. In this way, your time invested here is very valuable. Other people can do translating, internet warfare, website construction, and so on, but only you can do personal readings.
I don't know exactly what astrology work you already do, such as the formatting and so on, but I just wanted to add some points: Individuals, especially newbs, need to know the practical advice from their chart, in relation to their advancement. I would include details on their north node/south node, elemental breakdown, key strengths of the chart, and so on.
How I think about astrology is that it shows what you are good at, like a video game. For example: "I only have level 1 water skills, but level 3 fire, and level 2 air, therefore I should go back and add some water skills". Following this analogy, the Gods all have specific roles/skills, but they still have very high "levels" of other elements, keeping them balanced. They might have "level 1000 water" for their main skill, and "level 750" for another.
I reflected on an issue between SS friends, that occurred recently, and it hit me that the issue was mainly the result of clashing personalities, and therefore clashing natal charts. If only the issue was first framed as originating from the person's north node, then it would not have been so heated. This is just one example of why such natal chart info is crucial.
In addition, simple balancing of the elements is crucial for getting past obstacles. I used breaths of ether, programmed, for this. I know of lots of people where the issue can be simplified into: "You are lacking in fire" or "Add more earth", and so on, as it is causing them behavioral problems.

On a similar note, your advice about workings is also very appreciated and valued, for some of the same reasons. People need experienced advice on what workings to do and why. Many people do not consider that a working can help them, or they do not consider doing a 40 day working, or other partial understandings of magic.
In general, JOS threads are lacking repetition of info for noobs. When one mentions their working, they should include their affirmations, for example, so that a noob can copy and not screw up. One can also repeat other basic info "Remember, sun energy is good for ...." and so on, so people get the idea.
This is a common theme everywhere. Most of the health advice also boils down to repeating the same info. I also repeat for people to do yoga, for example, because even though it seems like common sense, some people are not currently doing it and suffering ill consequences.
I will have to make a thread on this to remind people about this. Noobs need repetition and ease of accessibility for new things.
What you describe here is surely why i have been led to study my chart over and over so extensively. When this is done you can see what specific workings you need as far as getting past an obstacle or general advancement. Even for something as general as obliterating saturn can vary with the types of runes one might want to use. For example anzus or munka is standard imo, but to suppliment, either with a planetary square or another rune that will help with that chakra that corrisponds to a planet that is badly aspected with saturn. For me personally this turned out to be the sowilo rune, it actually boosted my confidence and will. This was back during the first go i had at obliterating saturn, and i am thinking of doing this alittle more extensively this time.
